A Hands-On Experience
Whether or not you know the difference between leeward and windward, the pros at this sailing school can help you learn to ply the waters of the Bay like a natural. Classes place you with other students of similar ability, and will have you actively sailing the vessel from the moment you leave the dock. As you rotate positions, you'll pick up valuable knowledge about how to tack, raise and lower the sails, trim sails, and more, all under the guidance of a seasoned sailor who will explain not only how to carry out various techniques, but also why they're important.
